Résumé :	Observations on the use of flowering Cytisus villosus POURR. by a small share of Sylvia rueppelli, S. curruca and S. atricapilla being present in Side/southern Turkey were made in March 2008. Intensive yellow adhesions of pollen were found on the foreheads and heads. A male Ruppell's Warbler consumed a spider web containing dead winged aphids. Observations are discussed in the framework of the so far known foraging biology of these warbler species and suggest the necessity of a great variety of flowering plants above all in coastal areas to safeguard nature conservation.
